Evaluation of the effect of bracket-periphery treatment on prevention of enamel demineralization by consecutive ?CT scans

Conclusion No lesions were shown in the area of application of ProSeal. The other materials did not sufficiently protect the enamel; however, a protective effect of all materials was obvious when comparing the bracket-periphery with the adjacent untreated enamel. Additionally, the area of SEP application showed almost always a significantly less demineralization in comparison to that found on the adjacent untreated enamel. Clinical relevance The bracket-periphery was not always sufficiently protected. The adjacent untreated enamel did not benefit from the bracket-periphery treatment.
